This reviewer is correct that we do have an extensive recruiting process for Director-level positions, which is the highest executive level of our company. As a small growing company, we need to be quite cautious about executive hiring decisions. We invest a lot in our new hires. This reviewer had a strong resume and we gave him every opportunity to explain what he could do to help us achieve our business goals. We spent a lot of time getting to know him, and unfortunately through that process we had to conclude he was not the best fit for our company. The hiring manager directly informed the reviewer of this decision by a personal phone call (although referring back to the dates, it appears our call occurred a few days after this review was posted). The manager level posting to which the reviewer refers was an additional position, it did not replace the opening for which he applied. We share this reviewer’s disappointment that much time was spent with an unsatisfactory conclusion. However, we have confidence that each of us will find a better fit, and we wish him well in the future.
